discouraged and depressed

I am 3 weeks post op and I've only lost 20 pounds. All the sudden at 3 weeks the weight loss stopped. I am drinking my protein and not eating anything that contains fat. I have lost 2 dress sizes but it just seems like I should still be loosing at least a pound per day like I was. I did this surgery so I could get back in the corporate world and to be attractive again to my husband. Am I doing something wrong? If anybody has any feedback please let me know what I can do to go back to loosing the weight. I just want to feel normal and beautiful again. But i must be doing something wrong. Dr says I can't go back to the gym for 5 more weeks so I'm just walking. Any advice anyone?

    A pound a day is a 3500 calorie per day deficit.. it is not reasonable to have that huge of a deficit every day even with the surgery. Also, your body will plateau for a while.. My weight loss stalled

    You may want to look at the things you are eating. I am 10 weeks out now and I feel like I eat more than most people do, and I am not eating 1000 cal per day. I get in 80-100+ gm of protein in most

I feel your pain I am approaching 4 weeks post op and I lost 22lbs but haven't lost anything for nearly 2 weeks!! What's going on? I am eating no more than 600-700 cals per day but it's not happening. It is very frustrating and worrying to have gone through all this, eat such tiny portions and then see the scales stay the same day after day.

I really hope I are them move soon, I saw my surgeon on Friday and he says he's happy wig my progress but should aim for a stone a month, that's 14lb a month! If this stall carries on I will never get there. Here's hoping I get some results soon.
